I'll trade you my old Teddy Bear
My Teddy Bear, my Teddy Bear
I'll trade you my old Teddy Bear
For your basketball

Yes, I'll trade my basketball
My basketball, my basketball
Yes, I'll trade my basketball
For your Teddy Bear

We both will benefit from the trade
From the trade, from the trade
We both will benefit from the trade
We'll both be better off.

(To add verses, have students substitute other items to trade.)

Original song idea from a student at Carmel Elementary School, Carmel, Indiana
